Bev's Song

I lost Bev to Pancreatic Cancer in Oct 2015 and wrote this song in memory of her.

Such sorrow I have never known.  I miss you so much. I wish you were here...   Maybe, instead of wishing you were here I should wish I was there with you. The problem is,  I liked it here too much.  I was happy loving Jesus with you, making our home together here, not ever thinking too much, that  'this is not our home'   THIS IS NOT OUR HOME.

Empty Lord, I stand before you,   questioning all I have known.

Where once my faith was strong and grounded,   in the truth I’ve always known.

We fought the fight and stood together,   one in spirit, one in love,

Joined by God let no man sever,   perfect forever,   in this together.

Your sacrifice of self so constant,    I took it mostly all for granted,

Not seeing all that you were giving,  now you’re gone I miss your touch.

And as I walked the golden sand and wished that we were hand in hand.

I remember how we were,    perfect together,   in this forever.

But suddenly the bond was broken,    now I’m feeling so alone. 

And now I know my heart is broken,    wrenched away so suddenly.

I wished, I hoped, I prayed, I pleaded,   Lord let her still be here with me,

But now I’m feeling why so selfish,    maybe this should be my plea...

To be where you are, to be where you are, to be where you are, to be where you are.

Lord, heal my heart and make it clean,    Open up my eyes to the things unseen,

Show me how to love like You,  have loved me.

You broke my heart for what breaks yours,

Now everything I am is for your Kingdoms cause,   As I walk from earth into eternity.

Majesty, Majesty your grace has found me just as I am

Empty handed but alive in your plan.
